Ok!!
I managed to get it to work, just played around with some of the settings and eventually got it. Heres what I did for anyone else using PG and is unsure of how to do it. In PowerGold, go to automation and create a custom automation setup. Call it Rivendell for example Then configure the below settings; Output File Mask Extension Space Delimited YYMMDD log Fields In First Line Colum Width Hour (00-23) 1 2 Minute (00-59) 3 2 Second (00-59) 5 2 Cart Number 7 6 Then in Rivendell, go in to RDAdmin àManage Services à open up your service (E.G production which is default) à and configure the below settings Log Template Name: %Y_%m_%d Insert CHAIN TO at end of log (YES) Enable AutoRefresh By Default (YES) Music Data Import Linux Import Path: /dir/to/your log file/%y%m%d.log (I believe this has to be relative to the system you are creating the logs on so it can find the files) Import Template (Select Custom) Cart Number: Offset: 7 Length: 6 Start Time - Hours: Offset: 1 Length: 2 Start Time - Minutes: Offset: 3 Length: 2 Start Time - Seconds: Offset: 5 Length: 2 After that, all I did was setup my events, clocks and grids and clicked on Generate Logs, it did its thing and then clicked merge and I had a log of music create by PG! Thanks for the advice and ideas on this one guys!

Showing something there, but not loaded? In my experience, the only thing that really matters is if Riv. can pick up the 6 digit cart number. So, if you can open the log you are sending to Riv., make sure the 8 in the offset is correct. How many spaces from the left of the page are there before Riv. is to start looking for the Cart#. That should be enough to accomplish what you want, Riv. will drag the rest in. Cart # offset and length, which of is 6.

I have custom configured the import settings in services Cart Number: Offset: 8 Length: 6 Start Time - Hours: Offset: 0 Length 2 Start Time - minutes: Offset: 3 Length: 2 Start Time - Seconds: Offset: 6 Length: 2 I found this on one of the wikki pages, not sure if I understand it correctly though. As for Powergold, I have tried using Standard Automation, but don't think it's exporting properally or Rivendell is just not reading it correctly. When I click on "Test Music" in service editor, I don't get any errors it just does nothing. I have tried configuring the RDlogmanager to import from external log, created log and then merged music and nothing shows up :( what could I be doing wrong? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeremy Morris Sent: Friday, 2 December 2011 5:59 PM To: User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System Subject: Re: [RDD] PowerGold Setup (if anyone is able to help) On 12/1/2011 10:42 PM, Lee Baker wrote: > > I am wanting to look at scheduling with PowerGold and was wondering if > anyone know how to set the automation settings up in PG so that it can > export logs in a format that RD reads.

To manually setup a format, determine which columns and how wide they need to be to match the import format. In PG, go to Automation > Setup and select Standard Automation Output as the automation system. You will be able to define the file format in the Field Setup box on the right. I don't recall how many pre-defined input formats RD has, but you may be able to get away with simply choosing a pre-defined PG automation system output that matches one of the RD input formats. -- Jeremy Morris _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ----- No virus found in this message.
